“I didn’t even know this existed,” Jonathan Lucro, 19, an art major said. “It’s a shame that it’s a 15-20 minute walk from the main campus because I’ve got a tight schedule so I don’t get many chances to explore the school. Most of the art I get to

I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming all of you into the National Honor Society, a group built off of high standards of achievement, not only in the area of academics but also in character and leadership. I congratulate each of you and your parents.

VITAMINS, I'm a staunch believer, and I give them much credit for my healthy 79 years!

I am an active member of my school and community. At school I feel that i've gained the respect of my peers being elected as Student Council representative for the past four years. I have also been elected the treasurer of the choir, and secretary of the band. I am part of the Ross Middle School bucket drumming group and have been casted as part of the school theatre’s annual play. After school on Wednesdays I assist Ms. Rullman in helping students with homework and enhancing study methods. I am currently participating in science olympiad and have in the past. I am also an anchor on the popular Good Morning Ross Middle School weekly news show. In addition, I have been a part of National Junior Honor Society which takes part in service projects

High school is supposed to be the place where you have fun and a time in your life you’re supposed to enjoy. Movies often trick you into believing that high school is an amazing time in your life and there is nothing but parties and fun. In Bring it on, they portrayed the fun and exciting part of high school cheer-leading, however they intentionally leave out the tough times high school students’ face in school and in their practices. In other popular movies, such as High School Musical the students have no pressures other than the next basketball game. In reality, this doesn 't happen. The constant pressure is affected by the grade level you are in. In high school, students can be classified based on the pressures that are faced in each grade level into the categories of freshman, sophomores/juniors, and seniors. I am here to help you make your high school experience less stressful.

I am interested on being a third to fifth grade teacher in a public elementary school and have spent the last three years working towards that goal. I want to attend this program in order to better prepare myself to teach students of this age range and be an active agent in curriculum planning. I would also like to continue my education past this level through either self-taught, continuing education, or online courses, and possibly attain a doctorate at a later time.

That is exactly what I did. I am glad I fought because if I didn't fight I wouldn't be here today to tell you my story that has made me who I am today. Even though I had some difficulties learning in school I didn't get discouraged I tried my hardest and wouldn't give up and because I didn't give up I am currently nineteen years old and about to graduate from high school and have been on honor roll for four years in a row and was inducted into The National Honor Society my sophomore.

Senior year rapidly is coming to an end, I’ve had the opportunity to see many of my friends come to the exciting moment in their life when they sign that dotted line and I was still waiting on my chance. My entire life I had dreamt of the day to finally committed to a college basketball team, this was my goal and it had to be my purpose in life. January 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM I got an exciting text from Truett-Mcconnell’s head coach, Matt Sanders, stating,” Good afternoon Claudia this is Coach Sanders from Truett-Mcconnell College, and I really feel like we need to begin the recruiting process with you! Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I just didn’t want to let time slip away! I look forward to hearing back from you!” Here was my chance!

Thomas Jefferson High School welcomes a new addition to the English department, Jennifer Stephenson. Stephenson, who student taught with former English teacher and current CCT teacher, Matthew Santambrogio, now teaches Honors Introduction to Literature (Intro to Lit) and Composition and AP Language and Composition. “Ms. Stephenson definitely has a passion about the subject,” commented Santambrogio, “she is really involved and she is really cognizant of what she is teaching.”

Adolescents are not held to the same responsibilities or expectations as adults; yet, juveniles and adults are subject to the same decree of punishment within the United States justice system. Different demographics have varying experiences through the process of incarceration. Therefore, sentencing such that the culpability is the same between youth(12-18) and adults is an unjust practice. However, there are exceptions to every rule, which will be addressed. Children receiving life sentences in adult facilities leaves indelible effects on the individual, and is unfair because of their limited exposure to the world.

I have loved every second of having you in my second grade class. You brought so much to our big family in room 110. I will have wonderful memories of you and this class for many years to come. I hope you have many fond memories in room 110.

To the citizens of the great new country of Finklegrizziz, I, as your honored President, have come to a decision that we should allow nuclear power in this fine country. For those who may not know what nuclear power is, it is a type of power that requires uranium in addition to heat and steam to create power through fission. In more simple terms, nuclear energy is created from mining a readily available and easily obtained mineral rock (uranium) and then when combined with a scientific process (fission), becomes a clean and safe form of power. There are many pros and cons to this type of power, and I have spent countless hours reviewing this information in order to be make the best decision for our country. We will start off talking about some of the pros of this type of power, which include that it

We have different perspectives on a lot of things and for most…. it’s how to be a man or a hero depending on how you look at it. But it’s not about heroism. It’s the views on how to be a man (at least to me). The Hemingway’ way is different from most writers but it might just be the most influential. That is just my opinion. Out of all his works, we take three stories and one from Tim O’Brien whose work is influenced by the man himself.

I now want to attend to this college once more to get a CIS (college in school) class
